The attitude:
When considering self Improvement, we have to do away with the “I want it now attitude” as it cannot happen overnight.
Self Improvement is not some sort of band-aid or a 5 minute “do it yourself” commercial. Studies have shown that acceptance and willingness to change takes about 4 days but the habit itself is formed in about 21days.
Stephen R. Covey (author of :the 7 habits of Highly Effective People) says:
No one can persuade another to change.Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another either by argument or emotional appeal.
From this statement it can be interpreted that Self Improvement is a conscious decision that individuals have to make themselves.Emotional blackmail will not make a person change for good…lol.
The Epiphany:
The epiphany for self improvement usually occurs /arises when there are problems in our lives that we wish/need to change but as the famous Albert Einstein says:
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
In my next post, i will outline a couple of steps/principles that can be followed to improve self.Theses principles are timeless, as our world is constantly changing…yes! they can be used 10yrs from now.
Somethings to think about:
*we must constantly re-educate & re invent ourselves. Develop & Sharpen our mind’s to avoid being obsolete.
* Self improvement principles should always be universal/timeless as life, our problems and our pains are becoming more complex, more stressful & more demanding
Something to do:
Oprah Winfrey suggests we “push past our comfort zone” by doing this:
Write down 5 small things you would ordinarily be scared to try.
Pick one & commit to doing it this week. Once you are done with
This, work your way down the list.
The risk taking nature will be your second nature in no time.
Catch you again.
